Its just so aesthetically pleasing. I was at MoMA recently and they have some functional art, everyday objects in there. Love that stuff. This pen could be on display there!

You should get yourself a Chemex coffee maker.

What is this, a James Bond thread?!

(both Chemex coffee makers and Parker Jotter pens are used in Bond films/books)

In goldeneye the explosive pen is a PJ (“I am invinceeeeble!”)

I'm currently drinking my Chemex coffee while reading these comments.

Do you happen to use the Space Pen ink refills in yours? I forgot mine on a vacation in South Dakota and have been missing it ever since.

Just the Parker OEM refills, which I think are pressurized.

Parker G2 style refills aren't pressurized, but they're pretty decent.

My Mum had the same one, I wouldn't be surprised if that was still going too!

I was speaking to someone the other day about how Parker quality has plummeted. I bought one the other year and it was absolutely terribly made.
